North Shore locals can now enjoy greener and greater opens spaces in the community as Hume Street Park officially opens to the public.

It is understood NSW government has invested $3.5 million to make the creation of the new open public space which locals can visit in the heart of Crows Nest.

Member for Willoughby Tim James said the park will boost connectivity by providing a convenient pedestrian link between the new Sydney Metro Crows Nest train station and the shopping and dining precinct on Willoughby Road.

“This project has delivered 1,200-square-metres of much-needed new open space for the community.” Mr James said.

“The plaza gives the community additional space to relax and enjoy the outdoors.”
